The bed brake lights are not working, but all other lights including the center mount brake light are working fine. I checked every fuse in both boxes and all four bulbs and they all appear fine.

What to do if your brake light bulb is blue?
Sometimes they can be a little stuck in which case you can use a pair of pliers to help break it loose.

Grasp the bad bulb and pull it from the light socket.
